Debate
Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment BillContribution
I will end by telling the House about a friend I bumped into just last weekend. My friend Harry was walking with a crutch and told me he had recently been hit by a car, fracturing his ankle, neck and skull and herniating a disc in his back. When his head was scanned at the hospital, doctors discovered a brain tumour, which has now been removed. Harry is still waiting for the results of that surgery, but is struggling with his memory and speech, as well as recovering from his injuries. Seeing Harry reminded me that this could happen to any one of us at any time.
